How do I submit logs? Unity is unusable. Logs from classic desktop session will do?

My bad this bug is not valid as I did not install latest compiz from daily build that have a fix for it. After installing latest compiz from daily build PPA (this version will land in natty soon) I am not getting this issue anymore. However the entire unity interface is extremely laggy which was not the case with unity with open source drivers.
